An orchestrated political hiss

Hundreds of supporters gathered today to celebrate and defend health care reform, though I doubt the Seattle Times will bother to report on it, as it’s not like two governors, two U.S. Senators, and two U.S. Representatives were there or anything.

Now if there had been some angry handmade signs or something, now that would’ve been news.

re — Halfwits with handmade signs: Don’t forget — The handmade signs wielded by the angry teabagging buffoons only made their appearance after those in the media wondered how a bunch of flailing, aging retards managed to get such professional looking signs for themselves.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 52% of U.S. voters believe the average member of the Tea Party movement has a better understanding of the issues facing America today than the average member of Congress. Only 30% believe that those in Congress have a better understanding of the key issues facing the nation.

When it comes to those issues, 47% think that their own political views are closer to those of the average Tea Party member than to the views of the average member of Congress. On this point, 26% feel closer to Congress. Finally, 46% of voters say that the average Tea Party member is more ethical than the average member of Congress. Twenty-seven percent (27%) say that the average member of Congress is more ethical.

How come the Dummocrats, who control our State, are not addressing this I read in a NY Times article–

Pacific Northwest cities are full of buildings with slender structural frames and fewer and smaller shear walls. In a mega-quake, many of the region’s iconic tall buildings would probably collapse. The loss of life and property from such a disaster would be far worse than the damage and death suffered in Chile.

Wrong dumbass. You Oba-Mao Zombies live in your teeny-tiny “Progressive” hovel. There is a big world outside KLOWNville. Rasmussen is the most accurate poll the past 5 years because they poll LIKELY VOTERS. It’s even slightly LEFT-leaning as they called Brown-Coakley a toss-up…and Brown won by 5 points.

Denial by the leftists. Stupidity by ridiculing the Tea Partiers…adding more zip to the movement. Lack of leadership by cheapshot artist Oba-Mao and his henchmen. Name-calling to pander to the Goldy and nis NW Division of Lunatic Moonbat krowd.

Cynny @ 7 If that poll is accurate, then lawmakers need to ignore polls completely and simply go with what they know is best for the country. That poll would indicate that Americans are the dumbest people on earth, incapable, for the most part, of crawling out of bed in the morning then finding a place to pee. You people in the Tea Party (whatever that is), are just angry racists who don’t have jobs. Let me make a prediction–by November, you will have become utterly irrelevant.

#7 Republicans love to live by polls don’t they. Oh wait, that’s Democrats, er…or what? Can never remember what side of the argument nuts are on any given day.

The Tea Baggers, whatever polls show, are idiots. They’re also a tiny minority. Loud, yes. Stupid, sure. If they’re so damn popular, then they will sweep into power and fix all our problems.

What children like you can’t see and fail the understand is polls on “generic” questions like this are meaningless. It’s like asking “do you want your taxes cut”. You’ll get nearly 100% response of yes. Now when you ask WHAT program do you want cut to get that tax break…problems. Congress does indeed have a HORRIBLE rating with the public, as this Tea Bag poll points out. Problem with your 4th grade understanding of politics is that Congress also has a massive re-election rate of around 90%. How can Congress have a 19% approval rating but 90% get re-elected? I’ve pointed out the reasons why before, but you’re not old enough to understand.

Same with Obama’s health care plan. 60% of the public disapproves of it! But NOT because they all think it’s the start of “death panels”. The polls are complicated. MUCH of that is folks who don’t think Obama’s health care goes far ENOUGH. These issues are complicated and more subtle than you might think. Or maybe I’m wrong and John McCain and the rest of the Republicans (and Democrats) will be swept out of by people who think “death panels” are real, Obama is a secret Muslim here to outlaw Christianity and destroy Christmas. Or not.

P.S. Remember, there ISN’T a “Tea Party” anyway. I know you THINK there was a political convention and all…but the lady who headlined that convention, a Ms Sarah Palin, has since said the Tea Party folks need to, and I quote, “grow up and pick a party”. She’s also campaigning AGAINST the Tea Party actual candidates and for the main stream “in power” Republicans (John McCain). Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure she was happy to cash their Tea Party convention speaker check, but that’s the end of that.

12 I used to try to reason with Cynny, until I realized he is incapable of reasoning. Now, I just bash him. I hope he is not just a 14 year-old child, still trying to find his way, with a fragile ego, and all of that. I think it is possible, given the way he writes. Nonetheless, idiocy, from whatever age spewed, must be bashed.

Our teeny little progressive hovel seems to include a majority of of the governors, majorities in both of our state houses, a majority of the people in the senate, a large majority of people in the house and a president that won election by a large majority.

Just curious. When the “polls” showed the Iraq war VERY unpopular, and Bush with around 22% approval…what was the Republican wingnut response? I believe it was some combination of…

1) Polls don’t matter 2) We will be proved right. 3) All media is a liberal/Jewish conspiracy

So when the last Republican President had a Rasmussen ‘approval index’ of -36 I heard NOTHING about this. When Cheney was asked about how his approval ratings were SO low, he said “So?”. And the Republicans cheered his “strength” in doing what he believed despite the polls and “meaningless” public opinion. Ok. Does the same count with Obama? Obviously not! ROTFLMAO.

When Republicans Presidents have a 24% approval rating, polls don’t matter. When a Democrat has a 45% approval rating, it’s PROOF we need to take our country back. PRICELESS!
